THE ECHO 19 4 7 By ALAN MACKIE Recently 1 was hired by an old Boston scientist to transport special laboratory supplies to him. One day. after I had made a delivery, we were talking about people and how their childhood affects their future years when the professor asked me if I would like to look at the probable future of my classmates. Natur- ally I was astonished and on asking how l could do this, he showed me a queer looking machine with a radioactive crystal mirror on the front of it about four feet in diameter. This, he explained, would forecas t the probable future of a teen-aged human being. There are many possible futures in a man ' s life.” hi explained, but one more likely than others. All you have to do is to give a detailed history of the subject ' s life up to the present time and feed it in mathematic 1 signs to the machine.” I came back a week later with the needed histories of my classmates and asked if I could try out the machine. He agreed. We did the necessary things. He turned on the machine, then watched the radioactive crystal mirror hum and buzz and reflect all the colors in the spectrum before it slowly cleared. Malcolm Bishop was the first to appear. His life is a highly successful one. In 1967 he is at the peak of his career as the greatest artist in America. His marriage to Annabele Astor has opened for him the highest doors in American soc iety. Donald Davis is now general manager and part owner in a chain of A b P stores scattered over North and South America. Barbara Bowen owns so many restaurants and roadside stands that she is known as the female Howard Johnson. Helen Ellis, now a famous pianist, is acknowledged as the greatest living authority on Beethoven. Helen has just finished a tour of Europe with her husband, Dimitri Kostakovitch, the great symphony conductor. Louise Cann is raising a family of little Russian bears in cold Siberia. A new scene shows a meeting of the joint houses of Congress to listen to President Marcus speak on the state of the Union. Among the President’s cabinet is Postmaster General Andrew Card and Secretary of Labor. Priscilla Hobart, who is the third woman to enjoy that honor. A close-up view of Congress shows in a senatorial seat Barbara Smith, one of our first woman senators. She, it seems, continues the traditions of her family. Allan Richardson, the great radio and television comedian, helped Barbara into the senate by his popularity. Karl Anderson it seems has finally realized his ambition to become a great batter on the Boston Red Sox. But baseball is more or less of a hobby with Karl now. He is, besides being our ambassador to Russia, our most successful foreign diplomat at peace conferences (they still have peace conferences in 1967). Karl claims his success is due to the fact that he carries a baseball bat with him into peace confer- ences and diplomacy to the ball field. The great South American shoe magnate John Colby, has become rich and famous because in- vented an air cooled and ventil ‘d shoe for people in the torrid zone. Catherine Dietunson is the leading fashion designer in New York Ci y. Catherine has won fame and fortune as the designer of the Ultra Modern 67” .ress, a sort of compromise between a i.-oop skirt a hobble. Harold ’irwe ' r, conductor of the .American Au Girl C the successor to the aton of Andre Ko„. no Phil Spitalny. Consta ce Wood is a leader • i fine example of Boston ocial life. jnstance tic ide Boston not only the Educational Hub of the Universe but the Social Hub too. In the State Legislature is Margaret Clinton, rep- resentative from Norfolk County. She is a very con- troversial figure in Mas :husetts for she wants the voting age for women lowered and that for men raised, claiming that statistics show that women are always ten years ahead of men Opposing Margaret is Arthur Squires, one of the most conservative figures in the State Legislature. He claims that too much par- ticipation of women in politics would be ruinous to the health and digestion of the nation as the pre- occupation of women in politics would not give them time to prepare the healthful meals needed to support American males. Barbara Schutt is president and sole owner of Schutt’s Bubble Gum Manufacturing Company. Bar- bara makes 75% of all the bubble gum in America. Her pamphlet on How to Deceive Teachers” has been translated into four languages and has been banned from Boston. Blanche Tison has just been appointed a Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court. Blanche and Miss Mc- Carthy, who is the Chief Justice, have already begun to disagree over points of law. Miss McCarthy usually wins. Virginia Robertson is now Holbrook’s leading den- tist. Ginny is also the new school dentist. Each month she examines thousands of little cavity-ridden teeth. A face appears that I don’t quite recognize. No wonder, it’s my own. I, it seems, am head of a vast book publishing concern named after me, Mackie and Sons, Inc. I have a swell time. Anybody I don’t like I write and publish a book about; it usually ruins him. Caryl Jorgensen although now married and bring- ing up a growing family still finds time to teach his- (Continued on Page 27) 14
